Title: Materials Data on Mg2Cd by Materials Project

Abstract

Mg2Cd crystallizes in the hexagonal P-62m space group. The structure is three-dimensional. there are four inequivalent Mg sites. In the first Mg site, Mg is bonded to eight Mg and four equivalent Cd atoms to form distorted MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent CdMg9Cd3 cuboctahedra, edges with ten MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent CdMg9Cd3 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.17 Å. All Mg–Cd bond lengths are 3.16 Å. In the second Mg site, Mg is bonded to eight Mg and four equivalent Cd atoms to form distorted MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent CdMg9Cd3 cuboctahedra, edges with ten MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra, faces with eight equivalent CdMg9Cd3 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra. There are a spread of Mg–Mg bond distances ranging from 3.12–3.17 Å. All Mg–Cd bond lengths are 3.16 Å. In the third Mg site, Mg is bonded to eight Mg and four equivalent Cd atoms to form distorted MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra, edges with eight equivalent CdMg9Cd3 cuboctahedra, edges with ten MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra, faces with eightmore » equivalent CdMg9Cd3 cuboctahedra, and faces with twelve MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra. Both Mg–Mg bond lengths are 3.17 Å. All Mg–Cd bond lengths are 3.16 Å. In the fourth Mg site, Mg is bonded to six Mg and six equivalent Cd atoms to form distorted MgMg6Cd6 cuboctahedra that share corners with eighteen equivalent CdMg9Cd3 cuboctahedra, edges with eighteen MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra, faces with six equivalent CdMg9Cd3 cuboctahedra, and faces with fourteen MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra. All Mg–Cd bond lengths are 3.13 Å. Cd is bonded to nine Mg and three equivalent Cd atoms to form CdMg9Cd3 cuboctahedra that share corners with nine equivalent MgMg6Cd6 cuboctahedra, corners with nine equivalent CdMg9Cd3 cuboctahedra, edges with six equivalent CdMg9Cd3 cuboctahedra, edges with twelve MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra, faces with five equivalent CdMg9Cd3 cuboctahedra, and faces with fifteen MgMg8Cd4 cuboctahedra. All Cd–Cd bond lengths are 3.13 Å.« less
